School Lunches

lunch.2In January 2015 a new Government incentive was rolled out across Primary Schools in Scotland which entitles all P1-P3 Pupils to Free School Meals.

Menus for these will be supplied to Pupils, usually twice yearly, and are worked on a 3-4 week rotational pattern.  Orders for lunch are taken from pupils during registration so that figures can be given to our dining hall staff helping to ensure that all pupils receive their preferred option each day. – Sample Lunch Menu.MPS

Arrangements for P1 lunches will be subject to the current Covid restrictions in August.
